lyrics

When I was just a child
I didn’t realize that things
Would get stranger,
More painful

When I was just a kid
I knew I was the best at everything I did
And I didn’t care
That I wasn’t

Race to the bottom
Race to those grassy hills, the daffodils
Race to the candy-colored center
And maybe we can enter into painless phases
Crystal phrases
A palace fit to die inside

So I went for a walk
And saw my own body outlined out in cement chalk
I used my jacket to rub it out

And when I reached the end
I found a little beach made of porcelain
And I took my clothes off and went swimming

Race to the bottom
Race to those grassy hills, the daffodils
Race to the candy-colored center
And maybe we can enter into painless phases
Crystal phrases
A palace fit to die inside

When I came up for air
I saw present, past, and future me all standing there
But I didn’t shake hands; I just stood there

Cuz when I was learning how
(turning myself inside out)
How to distance myself from
The ones I cared about
I felt stronger, more ancient

Race to the bottom
Race to those grassy hills, the daffodils
Race to the candy-colored center
And one day we will enter into painless phases
Crystal phrases
A palace fit to die inside
